摘要

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been widely applied in diverse fields due to their exceptional mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. However, the growing demand for precise control over their structure, crystallinity, and yield is severely hindered by the intricate, multi-factor-influenced CNTs growth process—this has become a critical bottleneck limiting their further application. A key breakthrough in addressing this challenge is the discovery that CNTs growth follows the "synergistic action of matter-driven and energy-driven" mechanisms. Mastering these dual driving mechanisms, establishing the direct link between reaction conditions and product structures, and thereby optimizing reaction paths, emerges as an effective strategy to achieve precise regulation of CNTs nucleation and growth. Against the backdrop of industrialization, this review not only provides a critical theoretical basis for breaking through the bottleneck of precise growth control but also directly propels high-quality CNTs toward broader and more practical application prospects.
